Pandur - thought he'd got us a point there,didn't deserve to be beaten Jones - poor fkr was knackered but still gave it all Alzate - missed his mate Puerta when he went off but decent shift put in Slater deserves a mention too, he isn't the most gifted and has had a few eggs chucked at him lately but he put in an honest shift there. Unlike the fraudster who for me cost us a point
Pandur Jones Puerta (once he was subbed, we surrendered the game, so I assume he was injured). What was Kamara doing with his casual jog back when he could have actually stopped their man crossing? Criminal.
Pandur Jones Puerta. .. I must start with Omur. I honestly only saw him touch the ball once in the 60 mins he was on the pitch. Can anyone tell me what position he was supposed to be playing? For the rest of the game, we looked decent in the first twenty minutes, then somehow lost the plot and for the next hour I don't think we managed to string two passes together. Boro had us under the cosh, totally dominated the ball and possession especially at the start of the second half when it was like the Alamo at times, we just could not get a foothold in the game. it changed a bit when Kamara came on and he had more possession in five minutes then Omur had in an hour, but if petered out. Boro were the best football team I have seen at home this season and at times they were toying with us. Those three subs they brought on were supercharged and we looked as though we would buckle at any time, but didn't................ So, young Harry Vaughan, and before him Giles gave us a bit more, and we managed to raise a bit of steam towards the end of the game and looked half likely to have stolen a point, but, come on, how poor are we up front? Did we ever seriously look like scoring? A draw would have been miraculous and I thought we'd pulled it off, untll that one lapse of concentration in the 93rd minute, but let's be fair Boro deserved it. So we start a New Year in a relegation slot and, all of our own doing, and anyone who thinks we will casually stroll out it is seriously deluded. We are in a dog fight.
